Subsequent to that time, <br />apartments were taken out of the B -1 Zone. Thus, under the current ordinance <br />it is prohibited to build apartment structures in the B -1 Zone. This <br />theoretically makes the existing apartment }wilding a non - conforming use <br />and theoretically wou 1 d not be allowed to be reconstructed if it were <br />destroyed beyond 50 percent. The rezoning then, is simply to put the <br />existing land use into conformance with the ordinance by rezoning the <br />land to R--3A Multiple Residence District. <br />6. The staff has worked closely with Mr. Minich and his consultants in <br />preparation of the plans and application.
